Multiple U.S. securities law firms are investigating potential claims against IBM relating to alleged misrepresentations about an IBM Z product slowdown and the company's second-quarter 2026 disclosures. Reports state that CEO Arvind Krishna previewed adverse Q2 2026 results on July 14, 2026, after which IBM shares fell 25% and more than $68 billion of market capitalization was erased in one day. The reported investigations include Pomerantz LLP, Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP, and Hagens Berman, but no settlement, charge, or reserve was disclosed.
